We had a family who just graduated from the MBA program and the mom was pregnant with her third baby, a girl they named Frances, and right after giving birth the mom caught a virus that went into her blood and she died. Both Jordan and I cried and cried as we agonized over this little family. It feels a little too close to home, being that we just had our third baby girl not too long ago and we are in the same MBA program. I didn't know this family at all but I couldn't stop thinking about this little baby girl who will never know her mother in this life and I felt this need to express to her that I KNOW her mother loved her. I know because I am a mother and I know how you feel when you give birth to your baby, there isn't words for the emotions of love that you feel. I don't know what's with me and writing poetry lately, but I guess this is just the way I express myself when I feel something passionately. So here is my poem for baby Frances.

It has become a tradition to write a poem for all of my babies and last night I wrote one for our Gracie Lou Who (this became her nick name last Christmas while reading the Grinch). So it's not much but here you are my Gracie girl!

Amazing Grace

My sweet baby you are your name,soft and tender; a heart so tame.I think our eyes are just the same.My amazing Grace.

You watch your siblings with quiet wonder,never flinch when they yell like thunder.Love those chairs that you fit under.My amazing Grace.
